The Belfast Journal says that the LIQUOR
dealers OF Belfast are greatly incensed
against County Attorney DuntOn because he
Is endeayoring to enforce the prohibitOry

but we now wish that his opponent, Mr.
Rogers, had been elected" Mr.. Dunton is a
Democrat and not an advocate of the pro-
hibitory law, but he Is conscientious, has
taken an oath to enforce the law and pro-
poses to do It, State Constable Mitchell SAYS
he has no reason to complain Of Mr.. Dun
tons official acts, and he Is commended by
the temperance people.
